I'm not starting another weblog but I did score a free trial to the new WordPress.com blogging service. I had to put something down as a title so I went with the same old same old. I'll probably mirror these posts to the site for a while to test the service out. If you want to give the service a tryout, go to the WordPress.com site and download Flock (see my post below) and you get hooked up with a WordPress.com blog.

I was in Vegas and missed all the hoopla around the new web browser Flock. It's a web browser based on Firefox with all kinds of ajaxy goodness thrown in. It's in early release right now but shows signs of promise. I'll stick with Firefox as my #1 for right now though.

These are my Vegas highlights in no particular order: Hit a hard 6 with $300 on it (pays 10 for 1). Played craps at the Venetian next to Mike Patrick (the ESPN football announcer), he's a field player. Saw the Wynn Collection of paintings (the Picasso's and the Matisse are inspiring). Saw Joe Theismann walking around at the Wynn Casino. Had two hot chicks rub me (use your imagination :) for good luck at the Venetian when I was on a hot roll. Got the pit boss at the Venetian to give eight cigars for the hell of it. Ordered three steak and lobster dinners at the Stardust and just ate the lobster!
